Hi DanHi,

Yes, you can. Here is a PDF with examples of different interactive elements you can have in a custom dialog box for PDFs-

I don't believe any icons shown in the samples are interactive but they can be.

Hand coding the custom dialogs is a bear but doable- look up the dialog object in the Acrobat JavaScript reference. Or try out my company's plugin AcroDialogs- http://www.windjack.com/product/acrodialogs/ It makes the task of creating full featured custom dialogs much easier.

Hope this helps,

Dimitri
